#14 DeAndre Hopkins

PANIC ROOM: Which early season trends are a legitimate problem? And which are overreactions? — We're roughly 15 games into the season, which is far too early to drawn any conclusions or write overly long posts about. That said, that's never stopped reddit before. So with that mindset in mind, let's take a look at some potential concerns and assess the [threat level](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0258000/) for each. --- **Cade Cunningham is not the guy** The Detroit Pistons drafted Oklahoma State's Cade Cunningham at # 1 (over Jalen Green and Evan Mobley) partly because he projected as

What trade is the NBA equivalent of the Texans trading DeAndre Hopkins? — You have a player in the prime of their career, who’s durable, absolutely elite in every sense, and has showed every indication they are happy with their current franchise. They are then inexplicably traded for pennies on the dollar. Is there any NBA historical comparison to this?

The NBA's Inaugural NFL Draft — Back in the spring of 2016, I was in a really different place. I lived in Berkeley, California. Now I’m back in Massachusetts, but there are things I really miss about living out West. Primarily, I miss the pick-up basketball. I was playing three days a week at the University of California gym. The game was a real mix of dudes and got quite competitive.  I remember being there one day when all the regulars were there. The 73-year-old gunner who you still had to check. The guy that always tried

What was the most lopsided trade in NBA history? — This question was inspired by the Deandre Hopkins trade today. It feels like after every trade fans want to say one side or the other got fleeced, but most trades aren't as bad as the public makes it seem.

What would the Deandre Hopkins for David Johnson trade be in NBA terms? — The Texans just traded Deandre Hopkins and a 4th rd pick for David Johnson and a 2nd. What would the nba equivalent of this be?

Should NBA still have NBA draft on June and then have the year resume after? — I just think it will be better and not that bad to do anyway with nothing going on and also you can do the draft remotely anyway. Also to just remind you guys, if you want some sports action, go check NFL news right now. Deandre Hopkins literally got traded to the Cardinals.

The Houston Texans just traded DeAndre Hopkins for David Johnson and draft picks. What is the worst trade you’ve seen in the NBA? — For those unaware, this was a terrible trade. The Texans just gave away their best player, superstar wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins, for an aging overpaid running back making almost the same amount of money. An NBA comparison would be Houston trading James Harden for Andrew Wiggins and a non-lottery first round pick. Deshaun Watson should be furious and if I were him I would demand a trade. What’s the worst trade you’ve seen in the NBA?

NFL and NBA player swap — My brother and I were having a drunk conversation and wondering if the NBA and NFL swapped players who would be the best at what. For example, DeAndre Hopkins would be super good at basketball because he played in college. Thoughts?

How to clean up the Phoenix Suns' mess by using the Denver Nuggets as a template (aka my job application for GM/coach/team janitor) — **the cat to copy** Right now, the # 2 seeded Denver Nuggets are leading the San Antonio Spurs and verging on the second round of the playoffs. But this breakthrough season hasn't happened overnight (even if it's felt like that to some degree after missing the playoffs last year.) The Nuggets had some great seasons under George Karl, but after that ended, it appeared that they'd be sinking down into irrelevancy. They finished 36-46. 30-52. 33-49. The dreaded lower "middle class" of the NBA.

[OC] JaguarGator9's Weird Stat Thread- NBA Finals Edition — For the most part, I’ve done the Weird Stat Threads in the NFL subreddit and once or twice in the college football subreddit. But I figure now that it’s the NBA Finals, and since [everyone](https://np.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/6e4cbm/since_2011_when_rihanna_is_in_the_top_13_during/?st=j3awoz3t&sh=6ca9da62) is now [jumping](https://np.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/6e41o9/there_is_a_prized_bird_award_in_a_county_fair_in/?st=j3awpglt&sh=8546d2cb) on the [weird stat](https://np.reddit.com/r/nba/comments

Someone asked about NBA players who won HS state championships. I crunched the numbers... — Edit: go to comments to see the list reformatted in a more user friendly version thanks to BigTimeOwen Alright, I had a little free time so I compiled a partial list using the list of players from nba.com and the Wikipedia entries for the players. Not every players bio listed high school or mentioned championships, so the list is probably incomplete. Also, I had to guess at the year of the championship based on other info if the year wasn't listed (usually denoted with a “?”). Whenever possible
